Which moisturizer is recommended for use after a facelift/neck lift?

The product line that we carry for our patients to use after a facelift/neck lift is Obagi ZO. Dr. Obagi does not believe in moisturizer. He believes in making your skin healthy so that it can regulate the moisture. After a facelift you want to preserve your investment by keeping the skin active. You can do this with retin A, glycolic acids, growth factors, peels etc. The best thing to do is to come in for a consultation and we can customize a skin care regimen for you.

Skin treatments after mayor surgical procedures like
facelift and neck lift should be guided and managed by the patient’s primary
facelift/neck lift surgeon. Although most of the moisturizers are safe to
normal and untreated skin, they could cause harm to patient’s skin. Patients should
ask their primary facelift surgeon what moisturizer is safe for his/her use
taking into account their surgical background.

TI am presuming you are asking about the application of cream to the scars and the neck /face after surgery. To be honest it is the massage and the amount of massage of the cream that is more important than the actual cream. Of course each PS will have a favourite cream but at the end of the day it is the quality of the massage that provides the most benefit.
